Hilmer Julius Hansen, residence unreadable, born in Bjørnskinn in 1870, confirmed in 1886 in Dverberg, father’s name: Gaar. Hans Jakobsen.

From the forward in Voyages of a Modern Viking, by Helmer Hanssen, London, Routledge & Sons, 1936, (foreward written by Vice Admiral E.R.G.R. Evans):
"Helmer Hanssen himself may be classed amongst the last of the Vikings, for he started to earn his living at the age of twelve in the winter cod-fisheries on the bleak, ice-girt coasts of the Viking land which has given us the best Arctic and Antarctic explorers that the world has known. Helmer Hanssen is shy about his book--I should be proud indeed to have such a record of adventure to my name as this modest Norseman has, for he was one of Roald Amundsen's men in the Gjoa, the only vessel that has yet made the oft-attempted, hazardous, North-West Passage. He was one of the five men who stood first at the South Pole whither Roald Amundsen's fine leadership had brought them in December 1911, and later he was Captain of the Maud, one of the only two ships that has yet succeeded in making the North-East Passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific."

From Wikipedia: “Helmer Julius Hanssen (1870-1956) was a Norwegian polar explorer, and one of the first five to reach the South Pole on the expedition of Roald Amundsen.
Hanssen was born in Risoeyhavn, a small village in the northern part of Norway. He was an experienced ice pilot, a skill he had learned while hunting seals around Spitsbergen.
From 1903 to 1905 Helmer Hanssen participated in Roald Amundsen’s successful search for the Northwest passage, as second mate on board the ship Gjoea. On the expedition he learned from the Intuits how to drive sled dogs. In 1910 he headed south with Amundsen to conquer the South Pole. This time as an expert dog driver. He was also in charge of navigation, carrying the master compass on his sledge.
He was one of the first five people to reach the South Pole on December 14, 1911, along with Roald Amundsen, Olav BjÅland, Oscar Wisting, and Sverre Hassel. During their stay at the South Pole, it is believed that Hanssen passed within 200 yards of the mathematical South Pole point. This was during one of his ski runs which Amundsen had ordered be performed to completely encircle or “box” the pole to insure that there was no doubt that the expedition had attained the pole.
In 1919 he once again went north this time as captain on Maud in Roald Amundsen’s Northeast Passage expedition.
In 1936 Hanssen published his autobiography The Voyages of a Modern Viking, London: Rutledge, 1936.
Helmer Julius Hanssen was awarded the Knight Class 2 of St. Olav for exceptional seamanship on Roald Amundsen’s expeditions in the northern and southern parts of the world.”
